Hey guys, I’m having trouble decide between Penn state Schreyers and UVa. I live in Pennsylvania, so I’ll be getting the instate tuition plus a small scholarship, making Penn State very cheap. Meanwhile, UVa has such expensive OOS tuition. If I were going to Penn state, I’d essentially have 100k extra, but with UVa I’d have no money, but no debt. I really liked UVa, but I’m not sure if its worth the extra cost, and I wouldn’t be an honors student there. I also want to major in finance, and UVa is one of the best business schools in the country, so I have no idea what to choose. If anyone could help me, that would be fantastic.
Penn State. Penn State is a very good school, & usually it is expensive. Penn State’s business school(Smeal) is highly ranked also. UVA doesn’t admit a lot of people out of state and is $100K more expensive & competitive, even though it is better it’s not worth you going there. You would be MUCH better off going to Penn State.
Penn State isn’t cheap for very many people, so personally I’d take that opportunity 
If you have any specific questions about Schreyer, let me know. I’m a sophomore in engineering.
I would suggest saving the money for now and going to Penn State for undergrad, and then planning to attend the Darden School at UVA for your MBA. You will end up with the same amount of debt as if you had gone to UVA for undergrad, but will be in a far better position with respect to your career prospects.
